Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Branding

51 rector supervises the PMP database. A full-time PMP staff person will be hired by USAIDCOMFISH in FY12 to work under the Deputy Director’s supervision. A tool to measure ‘fisheries economic performance’ which has been developed and used in other countries will be applied to selected fisheries in the USAIDCOMFISH project. While not one of the PMP indicators, this will provide a comparison against other countries including Gambia and a base- line from which to determine trends at mid-project and end of project. The PMP Life of Project definitions and targets are in the process of being revisited and revised and new climate change indicators added as recommended by USAIDSenegal. The revised Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and PMP Plan will be submitted to the USAIDCOMFISH AOTR in a sep- arate document for review and approval. It will be submitted shortly after this Work Plan is submitted. Semi-annual partner meetings are held that serve to coordinate activities. The project will hold an an- nual work planning workshop as well. At these, partners discuss key accomplishments, challenges, lessons learned, and plan the out-year activities. These are good opportunities for all stakeholders to gather and assess progress towards producing results. The Deputy Director serves as the field based PMP supervisor. A new staff member will be hired in FY12 whose responsibility will be to manage the performance management system under the supervision of the Deputy and will keep records and evidence files, conduct quality control, and implement assurance procedures.

5.8 Environmental Monitoring and Compliance

An IEE was submitted in Year 1 and an environmental screening process is in place that falls under the supervision of the project Deputy Director. During Year 1 no activities with ‘negative determina- tion with conditions’ were implemented. During Year 2012, the majority of the activities have a “categorical exclusion” threshold determina- tion for example, training, meetings, evaluations, surveys. The following activities fall under a ‘negative determination with conditions’ threshold and will be closely monitored. • Reduce post-harvest losses and improve product quality • Enhance fisheries value chains • Improve fishing community resilience to climate change Environmental screening follows the Africa Bureau Environmental Report Form Review Process, which is described in the Bureau’s Environmental Procedures Training Manual, “Annex G: Umbrella IEEs and Subgrant Environmental Screening ,” as well as in the Africa Bureau Environmental Guide- lines, Part III. Both can be found at http:www.encapafrica.orgresources.htm . An Environmental 52 Mitigation and Monitoring Report EMMR will be completed at the end of Year 2 and submitted to USAIDSenegal alongside the annual report in October 2012.

5.9 Branding

The USAIDCOMFISH Project provides information through many channels. This includes through presentations at meetings, conferences, outreach sessions and other forums as well as through print media—e.g., locally produced Information, Education and Communication IEC materials, pam- phlets, brochures, policy briefs, guides, and PowerPoint presentations. The main target audiences in- clude local communities, local government agencies, national policymakers, grassroots NGOs, and other donors. Acknowledgement is always given to the generous support of the American people through USAID in all Project communications and materials. Also recognized are partnerships and support from local government ministries, agencies and departments who participate in various activi- ties of the Project.
